Description

Magic’s forbidden. It’s also the only thing that can save them…

The day Fritz Schenk finds his handmade toys standing guard outside his shop, he realizes TradeMagic is in trouble. Outlawed by the Guild more than half a century ago, the mysterious TradeCrafters’ ability to imbue objects with magical powers is now almost extinct.

But learning TradeMagic from the shadowy members of the Legion means being lured into a sinister plan that could destroy more than just the Guild.

An interesting novel, with some good characters and plot ideas. It fits well within the realm of magic and fantasy novels and would be perfect for KS3 students who are discovering this genre of books.

This book has everything needed to make it a fantastic read except for that vital spark that draws the reader in. The world-building is excellent and there's a wide range of characters and a really good plot but I just found it dull. I'm willing to admit that it may be incredibly engaging for other readers and it has everything I look for in a magical story but it just didn't capture me.
